Maybe some sort of soft flooring, like anti-fatigue mats.

Other than that, I was thinking maybe a jackhammer might raise less dust than a saw and make it easier to deal with the conduit recoupling by giving some elbow room. Probably still a bigger mess than ideal.

Strong argument for DIRTFT... Do It Right The First Time.
